On todays episode of Weekend Conversations on the Elevate Podcast, host Robert Glazer and Brittany Hodak discuss what true character looks like under pressure, using U.S. soccer player Folarin Balogun's response to a controversial red card at the World Cup as the jumping-off point. They talk about the discipline of separating what you feel from how you act, why leaders are always setting an example whether they realize it or not, and why staying composed in an unjust moment is a mark of real leadership.

Join Ian Croll and Chris Beesley on the Royal Blue podcast as they dissect the chaotic fallout from Everton's transfer deadline day. After the club failed to back up promises of a strong recruitment window, the panel assesses what many fans have called a shambolic saga. The lads break down the exit of star player Iliman Ndiaye and examine how an 11th-hour deal for Monaco forward Folarin Balogun collapsed at the death—leaving Everton with just one fit senior striker after sanctioning Beto's departure to Fiorentina only hours prior. Plus, attention turns back to the pitch as Ian and Chris look ahead to Sunday afternoon's home fixture against Manchester United. Can the Blues channel their off-pitch frustrations into a massive performance against United? Away from the pitch, Ian and Chris analyze reports from the Financial Times indicating that The Friedkin Group are exploring bringing new investors into Everton less than two years after completing their takeover. With advisers working on a potential stake sale process, the timing will certainly raise eyebrows among supporters—though this is not a report that TFG have decided to sell the club, and there is currently nothing to suggest an imminent change of control.
Bukayo Saka's second-half strike gave Arsenal a win over Aston Villa, Manchester City's summer spending hits a Premier League record, and Everton's pursuit of Folarin Balogun collapses in embarrassing fashion.

Jack is joined by Phil to break down a mammoth week of outgoing and incoming transfer business at Tottenham Hotspur. We kick off with the massive news that Manchester City's Savinho is edging ever closer to a move to North London. While we are still waiting for the official confirmation, we discuss the excitement surrounding his seemingly imminent arrival and what he will bring to Roberto De Zerbi's frontline. We then turn to the headline exit: Cristian Romero sealing a move to Atletico Madrid. We reflect on his turbulent career at the club, weighing up the undeniable highs against the disciplinary lows, and discuss how his relationship with Spurs deteriorated so drastically towards the end. Attention then shifts to a more surprising departure, with Djed Spence heading to Inter Milan. We debate whether the fee represents a cut-price bargain or standard market value once World Cup recency bias is removed, and ask whether letting him leave without immediate cover is a massive risk. We also discuss Micky van de Ven's lucrative new contract extension. Is making him one of the highest earners at the club a dangerous precedent, or is it simply essential business? Finally, we answer your listener questions, tackling Folarin Balogun's potential North London derby celebrations, phantom transfer targets of years past, and ranking Premier League era captains.

We then turn our attention to Djed Spence and the growing speculation surrounding a potential move to Inter Milan. Is a reported £25M fee simply absurd given Spence's performances at the World Cup, his development and the potential he still possesses? With Destiny Udogie continuing to have his own fitness concerns while also being linked with a move to AS Roma, would Spurs really be wise to allow Spence to leave? We also discuss Cristian Romero's expected departure to Atlético Madrid and how Tottenham are navigating the impending exit of their captain, before examining the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Lucas Bergvall, whose future remains up in the air as we enter the final weeks of the window. Finally, we assess Spurs' search for attacking reinforcements. Savinho and Cody Gakpo remain the club's primary targets, but with Manchester City and Liverpool unwilling to sanction their departures until permanent replacements are secured, Tottenham may need to explore alternative options. Despite fresh denials, we discuss whether Folarin Balogun could be a striker Spurs should seriously consider following reports linking the club with a potential move for the Arsenal forward.

Jack is joined by Iain from Poddenham Podspur to dissect the latest online Spurs discourse, transfer rumours, and pre-season action. We start with a meta-look at the Tottenham podcasting landscape over the summer before diving straight into the shocking rumours linking Cristian Romero with a move to Arsenal. Is a deal across North London utterly unacceptable, or is there an uncomfortable, pragmatic "hear me out..." angle to be explored? Next, we reflect on a fiery pre-season clash against Getafe that laid bare Tottenham's current lack of dynamic options in the final third, gauging Iain's anxiety levels as the transfer deadline looms. We also discuss Conor Gallagher following his goal against Getafe, looking at whether his no-thrills, high-workrate style is turning out to be precisely what Roberto De Zerbi needs in the final third. Finally, we assess the fresh links to USMNT striker Folarin Balogun. Living in the States, Iain offers his perspective on whether Balogun would be a commercial shirt-selling exercise or a genuine solution to Spurs' attack.

It was the red card—and subsequent White House phone call—heard ‘round the world. After USMNT striker Folarin Balogun was dealt a red card, President Trump gave FIFA head Gianni Infantino a ring. Suddenly, Balogun's one-game suspension was revoked. It wasn't enough to keep USMNT from losing against Belgium 4-1… but it was enough to ruin the World Cup vibes and make the United States, once again, the world's villain.

After FIFA unexpectedly overturns the red card handed to U.S. star Folarin Balogun, Donald Trump confirms that he personally called FIFA's president and asked him to "review" the penalty. Tommy and Lovett react to Trump's meddling and discuss how it mirrors his relationship with European powers as the president heads to Turkey for a NATO summit. Then, they check in on Democrats' attempts to take back the Senate — discussing terrible new allegations against Graham Platner and Mallory McMorrow's decision to drop out of the Michigan Senate race — before turning to the contrasting ways Zohran Mamdani and Trump supporters celebrated America's 250th in New York and Washington, DC.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.
